Acer P835 Windows Mobile phone unveiled

Acer has released details on its P835 touchscreen phone.

Originally named the "Galaxy 7", the Acer P835 is a 3.5-inch touchscreen device that also provides a trackball for quick scrolling and navigation. The screen features a WVGA (800x480) resolution, and the P835 has the ability to act as an internet access point, allowing up to 10 devices to share its HSPA or Wi-Fi connection.

It's quite a serious-looking device, with its austere leather-style trim below the screen. It's slightly thicker than some style-conscious touchscreen devices- the P835 is a couple of millimeters thicker than the iPhone for example- but it's still a slender design. A stylus slots into the back of the phone for more accurate touchscreen use.

The P835 comes with 4GB internal storage as standard, and features an SDHC-compatible microSD slot. Here's a run-down of the P835's features:
